Chapter 239 Chess Pieces
Han Ning and Ye Ran had just entered the mall and had no idea that Gu Hansong and Meng Shulan were also inside.
Ye Ran didn't care. If they met, then they met. She was thick-skinned and even wanted to go up and say hello.
Han Ning, however, looked away and was uneasy. He couldn't even look directly at the two people. He pulled Ye Ran's sleeve and asked her to leave.
Ye Ran: "What? I haven't bought anything yet."
The two of them are going to get engaged in a few days. Although it's just the relatives of the two families sitting together for a meal, Ye Ran will also come to the city to buy things, vowing to make her engagement party grand and proper.
Han Ning's voice suddenly trembled. "Let's go to the second floor to look at the clothes first, and come down later."
Ye Ran: "You can buy everything downstairs, why do you want to go upstairs?"
Ye Ran thought this guy was strange. It had been so long since the incident between him and Meng Shulan, and now they were both in their own homes. Why was he so reluctant to let go? He was fine at school before, but now he was so timid, as if he was afraid of others.
What's going on? Ye Ran didn't know anything about Han Ning's awakening memory, she just felt that this person's behavior was abnormal.
Han Ning began to sweat at this time, his bloodshot eyes glared, "You're not leaving, right? Fine, I'll go, why not!"
After Han Ning finished speaking, he walked away on his own. His steps were so fast that it seemed as if there was a ghost chasing him from behind.
Ye Ran frowned, smiled faintly at Gu Hansong and Meng Shulan, and followed them.
After the two men left, Gu Hansong's clenched teeth finally loosened.
Beside him, Meng Shulan asked him, "Why are you so nervous?" He tensed his body as if facing a great enemy.
Gu Hansong: "It's not nervousness, it's hatred." And anger.
"Hate?" Meng Shulan was a little puzzled. Although she had a bad relationship with those two people, she had never told Gu Hansong about these things!
Gu Hansong turned his head to look at her, stroked Meng Shulan's ponytail and said, "He had set his sights on you in school and had ulterior motives towards you. Ye Ran grew up with you, and you treated her as a friend and took her to study with you, but this person turned a blind eye to your kindness. Not only did he not help you, he also condoned the Ye family's misdeeds and snatched business from your family."
After listening to his explanation, Meng Shulan nodded. Those two people indeed deserved to be hated.
"Okay, let's go."
"Okay." There's a long way to go.
On the other side, on the stairwell on the second floor of the shopping mall, Han Ning was leaning against the corner of the wall, gasping for breath.
The weather in August is the hottest time of the year. Coupled with the recent shock, Han Ning was already sweating profusely, and even his back was wet.
Ye Ran came up and frowned when she saw him like this: "What's wrong with you? Those two aren't monsters, are they that scary?"
Ye Ran's tone was not very good.
Ever since Ye Ran captured Han Ning and tied him to herself, her attitude towards him slowly began to change.
She herself did not notice this change, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell it.
I've already got it, there's no need to be humble anymore.
Previously, Han Ning treated Ye Ran as a chess piece and a tool.
Isn’t Ye Ran the same?
Han Ning is also her ladder to escape from the countryside and her springboard.
She had a purpose in approaching this man from the beginning. As for liking him, there was definitely some, but not too much.
Han Ning tilted his head to look at Ye Ran, looking at the woman who had toyed with him in both lives.
"What do you know? You idiot, bitch, slut!"
How can I not be afraid?
Just now, when Han Ning and Gu Hansong's eyes met, some images suddenly emerged in Han Ning's mind.
There are only two scenes.
The first scene was in a magnificent private room. Gu Hansong, wearing an expensive suit and shaking a glass of red wine, asked him calmly, "How have you been these years?"
Han Ning leaned over and smiled, "Very well. Not long ago, Shulan went to take a test and said she wanted to work in the cultural center. She likes the work there. Mr. Gu, we are all from the same hometown. Do you want to organize a dinner so that everyone can meet and chat together?"
Gu Hansong lowered his eyes and said, "No. My flight is tomorrow."
"Oh, is that so? That's a pity. Let's make an appointment next time. You two haven't seen each other for so many years. Shulan will definitely be very happy to see you."
After Han Ning finished speaking, the person leaning on the sofa suddenly chuckled.
Han Ning could tell that he was not very happy. He didn't know what he had said wrong and became a little nervous.
After a while, Gu Hansong said, "I heard that you opened a chain of drug stores?"
Han Ning nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, there are only three stores, one of which is not profitable, so we just do a small business to earn some living expenses."
Gu Hansong: "Are you interested in getting involved in medical devices?"
Han Ning was shocked and overjoyed.
"Boss Gu, of course I want to expand my business, but I don't have a way to do it!"
This scene lasted only two minutes. Gu Hansong had no displeasure or conflict with him, and he even wanted to give him some advice.
Although Han Ning didn't know whether he would do medical device business in the future, the conversation between the two was pleasant this time.
This should have happened after he married Meng Shulan. Moreover, the fact that Gu Hansong could make him nod and bow so eagerly that he wanted to cling to him was enough to prove that he was already very successful at that time, and his main direction was not in China, but abroad.
He is a fellow countryman of Meng Shulan, has achieved success and fame, and still wants to improve himself.
This was supposed to be a good conversation, but Han Ning felt an indescribable pressure.
The pressure made him breathless, his heart was pounding, and he desperately wanted to escape.
He had an illusion that what Gu Hansong gave him was not a road to wealth and glory, but a hell leading to death.
It was in this situation that Han Ning wanted to escape, quickly avoiding Gu Hansong's sight and leaving that place.
But when he fled to the second floor, another scene appeared in his mind.
This time, everything was dark before his eyes. He was tied to a chair, his eyes were bound with cloth strips, and something was stuffed in his mouth. He couldn't see, and couldn't take it out.
Water was pouring down from the top of his head, and the suffocating feeling of drowning made Han Ning shake like a sieve.
He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, he regretted, he wanted to die...
The second time the scene was very short, only about ten seconds at most, but it made Han Ning feel like he had walked through hell.
Although he didn't see anything this time and only heard the sound of water, he felt an inexplicable hint in his heart.
It’s about Gu Hansong, everything is about Gu Hansong.
It was he who tied himself up and tortured himself.
Although I don’t know the reason, he is him and everything is about him.
Han Ning finally understood why he was so afraid of Gu Hansong.
This person must have done something to himself in another life, tortured himself, or killed himself.
Because of those things, he instinctively felt fear towards that person.
